November in the Southeast

After leaving our friends, we spent another week in North Carolina to spend some time in the Smokey Mountain National Park. We decided to reconnect with them and others a few weeks later. That reunion was on the gulf coast in the panhandle of Florida. This decision dictated our stays during the end of October and early November. Making last minute decisions like this is the benefit of not booking too much too early.

Two Years on the Road

It’s hard to believe we’ve been retired and living on the road for over 2 years already! We are enjoying the adventure and have met many new friends along the way. We posted a year 1 overview, covering expenses and a profile of the types of places we’ve stayed. We’ll do a quick summary comparing year 2 with year 1 and then share with you our favorite places we’ve visited. You can always check our places link in the upper right of our page to see all the places we’ve stayed on a google map.

Friends on the Road

A common question or concern for people contemplating the full-time RV lifestyle is one of loneliness. After a long career working with people everyday, what would it be like to leave everyone and hit the road full-time. For us, we had the rare opportunity to work with the same group of people for many years, some for over 20 years. They were, and still are, family. Yes, for those that don’t know, we worked together for the last 20 years or so of our careers at Kodak / Kodak Alaris.

Service Time and Family

Michigan with Friends

Our plan to spend a week in Indiana before our service stop at MorRyde changed when we realized Indiana was on New York’s list of states requiring quarantine when entering New York from those states. Michigan was not on the list so we spent another week in southern Michigan. We informed our friends, John and Tina, of our changed plans and they decided to finish up their long stay in Michigan with us at Shamrock Park in Berrien Springs.

The Upper Mid-West

It’s been a month since our last blog post. As our second year on the road slowly winds down, it’s interesting to reflect on our time on the road. During our first few months out it seemed like we posted a blog from each stop. Now, we group many stops into a single post. We were lucky enough to visit many National Parks this summer and that all ended with our last post on Theodore Roosevelt National Park. As a result, things have been quieter and more laid back this past month as we added several more states to our map.
